The dates for the Juvenile Detention Officer Basic Curriculum Planning Session have been set: March 12 - 14, 2007. We need your information by February 21, 2007 if you are interested in participating!*
The Texas Probation Training Academy at Sam Houston State University in conjunction with the Texas Juvenile Probation Commission is looking for interested persons with work experience in the field of Juvenile Detention to become Resource Training Officers (RTOs).
At this meeting, the RTO team will discuss, evaluate and modify the Juvenile Detention Basic Training curriculum that is used throughout the state of Texas. JDO Basic Training is offered to new JDOs (1 day to 1 year) and includes the topics mandated by TJPC. Members from the RTO team will also be expected to assist with at least one week-long training per year.
Requirements to become a Juvenile Detention RTO are (1) a recommendation letter from your chief sent to Vanessa Farmer (information below), (2) the ability to miss at most two weeks of work per year (one week of curriculum planning and one week of training), and (3) the ability to complete a Training for Staff Trainers course in 2007 if not already completed.
For more information, or if you are interested in becoming an RTO, please contact Vanessa Farmer at 936-294-1639 (fax: 936-294-1671) or vfarmer@shsu.edu.
